I would like to only carry one smartphone and so my question is as follows: Should I purchase a the smartphone I really want and use a single phone number for personal and professional calls? Is this as scary as it sounds or does it not make any difference in the real world? I kind of hate the idea of wondering if a call is about work or a personal issue. Any thoughts from anyone who has had to use one number for work and personal calls?
I have only one cell phone, and most calls are business related. The personal calls are easy to identify with caller ID, which most cell systems provide.
The real problem comes with calls that block their ID (as for some government agencies I need to deal with, and also call centers staffed with people I don't want to talk to).
